backdated to June 3rd, 8:15AM. (VIDEO) TRIGGER WARNINGS, Death, murder, violence, etc

[villainously]

( it's not too long after the girl was found, but long enough. there's no clear evidence as to who did it, as far as Hook can tell, and granted he's probably not the best person to arm the masses... it's just that somebody has to. this is not the first death, apparently, yet it is the first murder (as far as he's aware). and they've all got enough to worry about here, there can't be murders on top of it.

it's rare that a pirate finds people so morally repugnant but once upon a time he left the navy because he found his king deplorable. if nobody else is going to do something, he will; no matter how uncharacteristic it seems, all things considered. )

I don't know who did this, but it was somebody in this hotel. I'm sure they thought they'd get away with it, but they won't. That little girl didn't deserve to die, to be some sick message.

( it doesn't matter that she might come back, not to him. he won't be able to rest, nor function, knowing there is someone roaming the halls willing to murder. it's impossible to say if it was a test, for fun, just for attention, to get a laugh out of the people trapped... it doesn't matter. whoever it was, why they did it, it isn't as important as finding them and making sure it doesn't happen twice. )

Somebody did this, and I say we find out who did it and make sure they can't do it again. Somebody had to have heard something, saw something. There's got to be answers here, and there's nobody but us to make sure this girl gets justice.

If she does come back, I want her to know she's safe from whoever did this to her.

If you heard something, then speak up. Privately, if you prefer, but say something. Or this can and will happen again. If we don't act, trust me, it will. If that's alarming, it bloody should be. Whoever this is won't stop unless we make them.

( he can't be the only one alarmed by this. that wants to do something. he's relying on people being willing to take his side, because he's going to need it to enforce any kind of justice in this place.

and it's more than just that, sadly. why is the pirate giving so many public service announcements? )

Try not to go anywhere alone. Stay with someone you trust, more than one someone if you can manage it. Keep both eyes open and lock your doors. If you feel threatened, be as loud as you can, there's too many of us here not to hear something. These sorts won't stop when they start, and the last thing we need is another test to see what will happen.


( ooc: keep an eye out, there will be a plotting post regarding this sometime tomorrow! )

[ A+ job on catching her before her disappearing act. ]

Do I want to track down a murderer? No. But I'll go with you anyway.

[unbreachable]

[ well, you know. ]

Thanks. I appreciate it. Where can I meet you?

[64th]

Let's start in the lobby. See if we can find anything.

[unbreachable]

Okay. I'll meet you there.

action;

[64th]

[ the mood of the hotel is unsettled, to say the least, and Cashmere's not an exception. she waits for him at the foot of the stairs with arms folded and a watchful eye. ]

So what's your theory?

Re: action;

[unbreachable]

[ He shows up not a minute later, sauntering in with his hands in his pockets, as per the usual. ]

I...dunno. Murder, obviously...but I dunno who. Or why.

[ he needs to start paying more attention. ]

[64th]

[ she snorts. it's not a funny situation but you know. he's right on. murder with no clues. ]

That's where I am. You wanna start with the dining room? Since... it's where she was.

[unbreachable]

Yeah, uh -- that seems like as good a place as any to start.

[ a gesture-- ]

Shall we?

[64th]

[ this all seems like a really terrible idea. if there is a murderer among them, she doubts they'll be thrilled that anyone is poking around. but she's also not particularly interested in letter some killer have run of the hotel. ]

You really know how to show a girl a good time.

[ she winks, and heads off for the dining room. the lobby looks the same. she'd expect something - signs of struggle, blood maybe? ]

I can't believe no one heard anything. You didn't hear anything, right?

[unbreachable]

What, so is this a date?

[ It's probably the worst idea ever, but whatever. ]

Nah. Not a thing. You either?

[64th]

[ she flashes him a smile. ] It could be a date. But maybe next time we can get breakfast instead.

[ Cashmere shakes her head. ] I'm not a heavy sleeper so there must not have been much noise. Which is why I thought it was the hotel. Murder's loud.

[unbreachable]

Yeah, breakfast would be better. Let's do that sometime.

[ Raleigh frowns and scratches at his jaw. ]

I'm not a heavy sleeper either. [ If he even sleeps at all. ] Maybe you're right and it is the hotel.

[64th]

It makes sense, right? Why keep us all cooped up in this hotel in the first place? Psychological torture must not have been enough. Murder sure mixes things up, though.

[ the dining room looks to be about the same as usual, but the quiet is a little eerier than normal. ] The body has to... go somewhere, doesn't it? It can't just have disappeared.
